1. The stroke order rules of Chinese characters are: horizontal first and then vertical (such as "stem"), left first and then down (such as "eight"), top-down (such as "main"), left-right (such as "forest"), advanced and then closed (such as "field"), middle and then closed first. For example, the stroke order of "Zhan" is: 丨, 丨, 丨, 丨, 丨 and 丨. The order of strokes is related to the speed of writing and the quality of fonts to a certain extent. It is also important to write in order during the exam. There are differences between the traditional stroke order of Chinese characters and the standard stroke order in different regions. Chinese mainland's stroke order standard is the stroke order standard of commonly used words in modern Chinese.
2. Traditional stroke order
The traditional stroke order, which was widely used in ancient times, is still used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters today. Users are mainly scholars who understand calligraphy, so it is also called calligraphy stroke order. By studying the calligraphy works before the Republic of China, especially the works of famous calligraphers, we can draw the conclusion that the order of strokes has been recognized. Most of these strokes follow the etymology, font structure, font changes and traditions. Many words have many variants (that is, many ways of writing). The stroke order can change with the change of font seal, official script, truth, line and grass.
